REDD1 expression in podocytes facilitates renal inflammation and pyroptosis in streptozotocin-induced diabetic nephropathy by Siddharth Sunilkumar, Sandeep M. Subrahmanian, Esma I. Yerlikaya, Allyson L. Toro, Edward W. Harhaj, Scot R. Kimball, Michael D. Dennis

“…REDD1 expression in podocytes was also required for an increase in pyroptosis markers in the glomeruli of diabetic mice. The data support that podocyte-specific REDD1 is necessary for chronic NF-κB activation in the context of diabetes and raises the prospect that therapies targeting podocyte-specific REDD1 may be helpful in DN.…”
